worth mentioning: — Dursley, May 28 ; 
Thecla Rubi (1), Drepana unguicula (1), 
Tages Alveolus, Euphrosyne, and several 
others were very abundant. The first 
week in June we started from Newnham 
for the Forest of Dean, and proceeded 
across to the river Wye. We found 
Melitcea Artemis and Polyommalus Ar- 
giolus. Highnam, three miles from 
Gloucester; Melitcea Artemis (3), Neme- 
obius Lucina, at various times (12), He- 
pialus Hectus (1), Spilosoma Menthrasti

Rubricollis (6). Lockliampton and Bird- 
lip 5 N. Lucina (4), Polyommalus Alsus 
(1), P. Ageslis (several), N. Plantaginis 
(3), Euclidia Mi (several). — J. Merrin, 
Gloucester ; June 22. 
Salurnia Pavonia- minor . — I have some 
larvae of this insect to spare : if any one 
wants them, please to send a box with 
stamps for postage back. I should feel 
obliged to any one for fertile eggs of 
Sphinx Ligustri, or any other of the 
Sphingina, except S. Populi . — William 
II. Ta ylor, Tolson Street, Sunny Bank, 
Leeds ; June 22. 
Captures near Birmingham. — I have 
captured lately P. Aryiolus, A. Selene, 
N. Plantaginis and E. Russula, and of 
the first two have duplicates, which I 
should be glad to send to any one wanting 
these species. Perhaps, in return, I 
could be accommodated with specimens 
of P. Adonis, A. Trifolii, P. Globularice, 
I.. Monacha, O. fascelina , T. Tipuli- 
forme, S. Cratcegi and P. Populi. — 
T. Campbell, Congreve Street, Birming- 
ham ; June 22. 
A. Euphrosyne and A. Selene. — I have 
taken duplicates of these, which I should 
be happy to change for other butterflies 
or moths. — The Incumbent, Hornby, 
near Lancaster ; June 22. 
Eriogaster Lanestris. — Does any one 
care for these larvae, which are said to 
continue years as pupae p I should be 
happy lo seud them, on receiving boxes 
and postage stamps. — Ibid. 
Duplicate Butterflies. — Having been 
rather fortunate in my captures of A. Se- 
lene, M. Artemis aud P. Sylvanus, I shall 
be happy to supply them to any young 
collectors who are in want of those spe- 
cies.— Robert Anderson, Coney Street, 
York ; June 22. 
Polyommalus Alsus. — This occurs here 
now in considerable quantities: if any 
one wishes a few specimens, I shall feel 
great pleasure in capturing him some, 
provided he seud a box, and pay the 
postage. Any specimens in return not 
refused.— B. Rogers, Amesbury, Wilts; 
June 22. 
Plerophorus Paludum. — On the 20lh 
I captured several of this Plume in a 
small moss, a few miles from here. 1 
also took Platypteryx lacerlula, Apatela 
Leporina, Phoxopleryx uncana and bi- 
arcuana. Tinea bislrigella, Coleophora 
juncicolella , Elachisla Gleichenella , Li- 
thocolletis Kleemannella. — W. Thomp- 
son, 4, Dutton’s Buildings, Mill Street, 
Crewe; June 22. 
Captures near Exeter. — I have taken 
this week Macaria altcrnaria and litu- 
raria, also Anticlea rubidatu. Having a 
few more larva; of Cucullia Scrophularice 
than I shall require, I shall be glad to 
exchange them for larvae of any of the 
Promiiienls, except the species named at 
p. 78 of the ‘ Intelligencer,’ or for any of 
the Sharks, except Verbasci and Um- 
bra lica. — E. S. Norcombe, 0, Salutary 
Mount, Heavitree, Exeter ; June 23. 
Captures near Bideford. — I have been 
exploring the heath on the Abbotsham 
Road ; here I met with Thecla Rubi, 
Anthrocera Trifolii, and an insect which, 
to my inexperienced eyes, looks like 
Steropes Paniscus. Tages, Alveolus, and 
Artemis were all there, but had seen bet- 
ter days: I also met with Selene. I 
should be glad of the eggs of any of the 
rarer Noctuce, and will, if successful, send 
a set of those I rear to the charitable in- 
dividuals who supply the eggs. I espe- 
cially want the eggs of Jladenu Atri-
